Musicman Stingray 5 always seems to have a great sounding B string from my experience owning them. My USA Std Jazz 5 from about 20 years ago had a fair to average sounding B as did a couple of their MiM jazz basses from that same era. I owned a few USA Dimension Elite and Std 5 strings and the B was better but not quite as defined as an SR5. The L-2500 I owned also fell short of the StingRay 5. Lakland 5s are imo a good choice for a good sounding B. I've owned a 55-60,a 55-AJ and a 55-02 which I still have, and they've all been great in this respect. They're 35" scale length but dont feel any bigger to me than a SR5. And like fretmeister said, I do find it a bit annoying that I have to generally buy a 0.045 set to get a .130 B string. I prefer 0.040 on the top but something with a bit more meat on it than a .125 for the B 🤨

Inactive can push pretty much light in the activation phase, and it decays... you know it is a lot like ADSR. It gets lower and lower during next hours. I have tested an inactive material that was visible for around 75 hours in total darkness after activation. Super-Luminova is a Strontium based material, but as it wasn't available as powder (powder was mixed with a printing material, kind of a paint), the material tested was from another company. Active material (most common and practically only available to consumers is Tritium) has a sustain and release time of 12.5 years. Actually you can see some glow for around 25 years, but the latter half is already low. Some data can be found here: https://www.rctritec.com/en https://www.nemoto.co.jp/en/

Sounds great @manol! Lovely looking bass too. Great colour and the binding really sets it off 👌

Yes, it is. It’s actually a clear one, with a celluloid, tort sheet under it (it’s the same thing stuff they stick on acoustic guitars). The whole thing is a custom build, ordered way before they introduced their configurator. 33” scale, chambered, drop D tuner, 41mm nut width, passive (control 3 is a series/single/parallel rotary). In addition to the scratchplate, I’ve upgraded the pickup to a Delano and added the Sadowsky type knobs. Weighs in at 3.2kg (in true UK style, I’ve mixed my weights and measures between metric and imperial, what other country does that? Fuel bought in litres, but economy measured in mpg is another example). Ta, it really is. Ordered back when Maruszczyk were just starting to get some traction here.

Folks, Just a heads up that the 18mm adapters for USA 1/2” ultralites are getting harder and more expensive to source. I have just bought some tuners from Lozz on here and thought I would get some adapters in as I have before for previous builds. Whether it is Trump’s Tariffs or just supply issues but they are impossible to source in the UK and I was left with two options; direct from USA costing $70 to ship alone or order from Germany at €36 including shipping. Bear in mind that these are normally £5 each from Bassdirect so max of £20-plus shipping. I think I will have to rethink my tuner choices on builds going forward.

As new still sealed in packs, 3 sets available £10.50 per set including postage. I have been trying various brands of strings on a number of basses, whilst these are very nice I'm going to Dunlop's for my fretted Warwick. To my ears the Eden's seem similar to Rotosounds, maybe not quite as 'zingy' initially.

Now £90.00. Boss RV-6 for sale, this one is mint and in perfect working order, no box, collection welcome or UK insured postage for £8.50 BOSS RV-6 Reverb Effects Pedal Combining high-end sound and wide-ranging versatility, the BOSS RV-6 takes pedal-based reverb to the next level. Reaching beyond the capabilities of previous generations, this powerful stomp employs the latest tech and legendary BOSS know-how to make it easy to get amazing reverb tones instantly. From subtle rooms to modern shimmer effects to long, evocative reverbs, the RV-6 envelops your tone in lush ambient spaces that endlessly inspire. BOSS RV6, Simply Great-Sounding Reverbs Packing the latest BOSS DSP and updated algorithms, the BOSS RV-6 gives you eight highly musical reverb effects in one compact pedal. Add body and depth to your core tone with standards like Room, Hall, and Plate, dial up swirling richness with the Modulate setting, or surf it up with a vintage-style Spring reverb. Dynamic mode automatically adjusts the effect depth to your playing touch, providing deep, immersive reverb that won’t turn your tone to mud. And modern players will love the new Shimmer and Reverb+Delay modes. Dialed-In Reverb Sounds at Your Command The BOSS RV6 makes getting high-quality reverb sounds with your guitar quick and easy—just select a sound mode, tweak the knobs to taste, and play. But while its operation is simple, the RV-6’s sound is rich and sophisticated. Under the hood, each mode includes a huge array of detailed reverb parameters, all perfectly tuned for guitar by the BOSS engineers with direct input from many pro players and sound engineers. Even as you adjust the selected mode with the Time and Tone knobs, many parameters are simultaneously adjusted inside to create the ideal voicing for every setting. Analog Dry Tone and Versatile I/O While the BOSS RV-6’s reverb effects are high-tech digital, you can rest assured that your straight guitar tone always remains pure analog as the effect is blended in. Convenient auto-switching jacks let you integrate with any pedal chain, with support for mono, mono-to-stereo, and stereo-to-stereo operation. And by plugging into the B input only, the BOSS RV6 outputs a 100-percent wet sound, great for working with more complex rigs that employ parallel processing chains and mixers. There’s also a jack for connecting an optional expression pedal, allowing you to control the effect level in real time as you play.

Two Notes Le Bass preamp pedal with various clean and drive options. In very nice condition (very minor paint chips on side/underneath edge as seen in photos) and perfect working order. Lovely warm valve tone, I have the Revolt as well so don't need them both. Includes the original box and manual but no power supply: nothing too radical required 12v centre negative. Collection welcome or UK insured postage for £12.00

Which has the better output though?

That's a bit nice, that. Guessing the scratchplate was a custom addition?

A bit of Southern Rock today, the complete Leon Wilkerson bass part for the tune 'Tuesday's Gone' from the band's 1973 debut album, '(Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)'. Surprisingly challenging read as it is in 6:8 (at least that's what I am hearing). https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/tuesdays-gone-lynyrd-skynyrd/

Is that the head you brought to the NW Bass Bash last year? If so, we clearly we have a different opinion on the word "manageable"...

I would have put this in the short scale appreciation society, but it's 32" so I'd be run out of town. Just picked up my Mullarkey the other week - Couldn't be happier. It was a bit over a year from initial order to delivery. I've taken it to a rehearsal, and I've found all pickup combinations are very usable depending on the song. The clip I've attached is the bass straight into an Audient iD4 into Cubase, no EQ, no plugins, nothing. 32" Mid Scale Nitro Finish 12" Larger body than a regular Mullarkey. Roundwounds rather than the stock, everyone seems to have them flats on it. Untitled video~2.mp4
